Fandom Stars[]
1. How long have you been on the Fandom platform?
AceEmotional: I first joined Fandom on a different account in 2018, just to comment on a random wiki's article. I then took a break from any type of social media, then returned to Fandom in 2020 under my current user.
2. What inspired you to become a Fandom Star and contribute to wikis on Fandom?
AceEmotional: When I initially joined Fandom, my focus was primarily on engaging in discussions and message walls rather than actively contributing to articles. However, I soon found inspiration in the users who assisted and contributed to my growth within the community. This motivation propelled me to acquire additional skills and knowledge, resulting in my progression through various local rights positions on multiple wikis. As a result, I have been able to assist and mentor different users, which was a significant factor in my decision to join Fandom Stars. This program seemed like it could provide me with more opportunities to connect with other Fandom contributors and allow me to become more involved in Fandom's editing community, which it has, since I have joined, I got to meet new people, whether it is asking for support or just having a chat with them.
3. How has being a Fandom Star enhanced your experience as a contributor on various wikis?
AceEmotional: Being part of the Fandom Stars program has been a rewarding experience for me. Interacting with other members has helped me enhance my editing skills, and the supportive environment has motivated me to become more involved in the wikis where I am an administrator. In which, I take pleasure in mentoring and assisting other users within the communities.
4. What has been your favorite wiki to edit?
AceEmotional: I don't have a specific favorite wiki that I enjoy editing, but there are several that I find pleasure in contributing to. For instance, the SML Wiki (formerly known as the SuperMarioLogan wiki) holds a special place for me as it was where I began my journey as an active contributor. Currently, I hold the position of a bureaucrat there, a role I have fulfilled for nearly two years. Another wiki that I found great satisfaction in editing is the DanTDM wiki. When I initially joined, the wiki was relatively inactive, and since DanTDM was someone I used to watch during my childhood, I felt compelled to join and make significant contributions to the wiki. Additionally, I often stumble upon various wikis where I take the opportunity to revert vandalism whenever possible. I derive pleasure from undoing edits made by vandals to ensure that the articles on the wiki remain undamaged.
5. What are some of the most rewarding moments you've had while editing and engaging with the community on Fandom wikis?
AceEmotional: During my tenure as a contributor on wiki, I consider the act of forging friendships and creating lasting memories as the most rewarding moment a contributor can have. Throughout the few years of contributing, I have had the privilege of forming numerous friendships that have not only inspired me but also provided unwavering support during challenging times. Regardless of whether I am still in touch with them, even if they have become inactive or retired from contributing, I am deeply thankful for the many users I have encountered along my journey as a contributor. These users have inspired me to persevere and not give up on my own journey as an editor. Without those users who then became close friends of mine, I would not have achieved the position I am in today, as I mentioned. Assisting users in their time of need and contributing to the stability of the communities I help out on are among the many aspects of the other things I consider a rewarding moment.
6. How do you balance your time between creating content for wikis and interacting with fans and fellow contributors?
AceEmotional: I strive to maintain a harmonious balance between creating content and engaging with fellow users. I take this approach as I like to ensure that the members of the wikis I administrate feel comfortable and valued within the wiki while actively contributing. Moreover, I aim to produce content that brings joy and satisfaction to the wikis. Both of these elements hold significant importance when it comes to fulfilling the role of a moderator or administrator on the wiki.
7. What advice do you have for aspiring Fandom Stars who want to make a positive impact on the wikis they are passionate about?
AceEmotional: I have some guidance for users aspiring to become Fandom Stars - never lose hope, never give up! If support from other contributors is needed, do not hesitate to ask help from fellow contributors. Additionally, I advise concentrating on a wiki's community, ensure that users feel appreciated and at ease within the community.

AceEmotional: While I do not have an exact favorite all-time video game character, I do like Aigis and Mitsuru Kirijo, both from Persona 3. I like Aigis’ character mainly for having a great arc in my opinion, being a robot developing into a human. As for Mitsuru, I do find her interesting as a character due to her leadership and her character development throughout Persona 3. Outside of Persona, I do like Raiden and Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat and Feli from Puyo Puyo.

5. If you could live in the world of any video game, which game would you choose and why?
AceEmotional: It would have to be between Persona 3 or Puyo Puyo. For the former, I would love to be a part of the S.E.E.S, being able to take down the shadows with my two favorite characters in Persona. Whereas, with the latter, I would love to meet the many characters of Puyo Puyo, such as Feli (who is the goth girl) and Lemres (the candy loving warlock).
6. How has gaming impacted your life and what do you love most about being a gamer?
AceEmotional: I have been gaming since I was a little kid, ever since I had a Wii and a DS. Gaming has led me to gain a bond with my friends and family members who also share an interest with gaming. I love how gaming can require skills such as teamwork and problem-solving, which are skills I am really good at. When I am not busy with college, I can often be seen on my PC or consoles, playing my favorite video games.
